    • Close Depression
      : Clinical (Major) Depression

      I started therapy in April and i got diagnosed with clinical depression on May 5th.I really didn't want to be on meds.Because i witnessed what they did for my mother when she was diagnosed with bipolar.So i'm a little afraid of the dependency and skeptical of the overall effects the longer i take them.

      Treatments

      Lexapro Working / Worked
      Ive only been on the meds for about 4 months so its to early for me to comment.Ive noticed a little difference in my mood but i have my down days every once in awhile.So my doctor decided to switch me to cymbalta.And now im having problems with my blood pressure ever since.So i stopped taking the cymbalta but my b.p. is still giving trouble.My family wants me to stop taking everything because they think i dont need it.And now im very conflicted about what to do.Any advice would be appreciated.
    • Close Anger Management

      I need to learn how to control my anger.Sometimes i get extremely moody and the least little thing will set me off.And it's to the point where my famly is fed up with me.So i have to deal with this issue immediately.I hope i can help get the necessary help i need from this support group.

      Treatments

      Music Working / Worked
      Music always calms me down and totally relaxes me.It's my ultimate escape when i can't physically get away.
    • Open Insomnia

      I'm having problems with staying asleep.I take my meds that are suppose to help.But i always wake up in the wee-hours.And have a hard time falling back asleep.So i need help because i'm very fatigued during the day.If i could get some help i would greatly appreciate it.

      Treatments

      Ativan Working / Worked
      lorazepam slowly puts me to sleep but i usually wake up.
      Restoril Working / Worked
      temazepam is not really working for me at all i always wake up.
